What is ibeo.Reference?

ibeo.Reference is a combination of Ibeo’s LIDAR sensor technology and the corresponding evaluation software system. The algorithms of the ibeo Evaluation Suite generate reference scenarios to create a benchmark for the evaluation of ADAS and HAD applications. Furthermore, they serve as basis for the development of new applications.

Use-cases for the ibeo.Reference system are:

You want to assess the performance and robustness of your own ADAS applications like a Blind Spot Monitoring System or a Lane Change Assist.

You want to create reference data for the evaluation of your Device under Test (DuT) system.

You want to use the reference system for the development and testing of your own ADAS applications.

The Need for ibeo.Reference

Automotive engineers require ground truth (reference) data to evaluate their Devices under Test (DuTs) and ADAS algorithms. The traditional approach to obtain reference data is based on manual labeling, which is expensive, error-prone and slow.

As algorithms and DuTs become more complex, further aspects must be considered for a comprehensive ADAS evaluation. These aspects typically include reference object and road data (maps), information from specific traffic events, DuT tools and data analysis functionalities.

The ibeo.Reference Solution

Ibeo’s reference solution combines online LIDAR sensor systems together with a software framework for offline processing. The online reference sensor system is installed on the test vehicle and collects data during the test drive alongside the DuT or ADAS.

The offline software ibeo Evaluation Suite processes the data and produces reference data for objects and maps from roads. The software offers different tools for DuT evaluation and data analysis and makes event detection possible.

The different functionalities are provided as modules in Evaluation Suite that can be activated upon request.
